Follow this link for the instructions http://screenr.com/T5F  then check out out new digs http://www.coyotebrothersresearch.com/VFBeta3

This is a work in progress. I have built this darn thing 3 + times already and will keep at it until I am happy

And yes I was not excited when I recorded the video..... not my best ever

Logged in with my email and password....but I got "BONKED" at every turn.  Just giving you the feedback; not saying it sucked.

Looks good!  When is the Go Live date?

[Cam]

Logged in as normal and found it very easy to use, liked the quick links on the right, especially my posts.

[skibug]

I guess I will have to give it another try and see if it was my fault or something quirky.

Revisited and logged in successfully; all seems functional.  I think I like the new site structure and feel.  Haven't used it enough to feel out the quirks.

[Horton]

It could be in beta until Jan 1. I have to make it so it is better then this sotfware. Please keep messing with it.

Any way to get rid of those "A" characters that crop up on the old posts? Also, does the new edition have a mobile version? I was looking at it with an iPhone and it seemed different than what was shown on the tutorial. Not a problem. It worked good. I was just curious.

[MattP]

There is a mobile version that comes up when you view it using a mobile device. I'm pretty excited about this feature "'m not going to lie its much better than viewing the current layout on an iPhone.

Had some issues with the screens freezing up, scrolling into infinity on its own, and the mouse jumping around etc.

Overall, the site is easy to navigate and shouldn't be too difficult to adjust to, even for us "old dawgs".

Has the ability to whisper been lost?

[WesternSkier]

Looks good, made a comment on the first thread and tried to change it....but it kept freezing on me when I tried to do anything....

[Horton]

If it gives you trouble just let me know. I have submitted 2 bugs this week so far to the programing team

[skidawg]

I tried to post another comment, but the text box literally went on forever...i tried to find the end but it was like trying to find the pot'o'gold at the end of a rainbow.  I also could not edit my text (bold, change font/color, etc.).  Hope this helps.

[Horton]

Western,

Are you using Mac?

Thanks to all the imput - I am now pushing back the change over date because of a few issues.

[Chuck_Dickey]

Bonk

Something funky happened. Please bear with us while we iron out the kinks.

[RichardDoane]

JTH - why do you need to update the forum software ?  Is there something about the existing stuff that's a problem ?

[Bulldog]

I tried the new one and like the old one better but I will feed the addiction no matter what the forum looks like…….

[WesternSkier]

NEVER!  I build my own computers but this pile of .... laptop does not like to play ball.  I guess thats what i get for going super cheap this time....

[Stevie Boy]

Personally I like BOS the way it is, just because it,s Simples

[SM]

I Tried posting a comment from my Iphone and now it wont load anymore. I guess I broke it! Kidding aside, It's really easy to read on my phone which I like.

[Horton]

Yea yea. Ok guys I get it. The current build of Vanilla2 is not not going to cut it. I am beta testing each build as it comes out.

The big picture is that Vanilla2 is way better for me but until there is a build that is more stable it is on hold.
